It took just one season for Dinesh Karthik to be
transformed from an obscure second-choice wicketkeeper for Tamil
Nadu to a serious contender for a berth in the Indian squad. Karthik
may be a cherub-faced, shy boy off the field, but he has shown his
ability to attack under pressure, and improvise, on it. As a
17-year-old playing his first season in 2002, he showed glimpses of
his batting talent but his wicketkeeping wasn't up to scratch,
resulting in him being dropped for the Ranji Trophy knockout
matches. However, his impressive showing in the Under-19 World Cup
in Dhaka - including a whirlwind 70 in a must-win game against Sri
Lanka - two vital hundreds in the Ranji Trophy knock-out and an
improved showing behind the stumps resulted in him emerging as a
contender for the national squad. He was picked in the Indian
one-day squad, as replacement for Parthiv Patel, in August 2004, and
made his debut in a NatWest Challenge game against England where he
pulled off a superb stumping. Shortly afterwards, he was called up
to make his Test debut against Australia in the fourth Test at
Mumbai.
